Hi pistol33,

I'm not an expert, but I'll try and help.

As you may have read elsewhere on the forum, advice often given involves mixing push and pull together in your workouts being more effective. This could be either pairing up two exercises in a superset fashion, or alternating them. Also, not focussing too much on a single movement in each session, i.e. spread pushing exercises over multiple sessions.

I'd probably put another rest in the middle as well, like the Mon, Tue, Thurs, Fri structure advised by Coach. Recovery is as important as work, if not more so. You don't want to get injured.

Looking at your strength levels, I'm surprised there's no Planche progression in there, especially as you mentioned on another thread that you were starting working on it again? Maybe there's a reason for that, but it's a good pair for the Front-lever.

Hope some of this helps.

Regards,

George.

Forgot to put that in, planche is usually done on the front lever day

i think ill start mixing it up like you said as ive heard that before but never really changed what i did

dumbbell press 140? is that pounds total, reps or a single dumbell? I am guessing you are using two 70LBers.

yeah the 70s

not quite at the 140s yet
